So heartwarming, what a brave little boy.

Special mention for Ollie, really making a fuss of Ibrahim.

Yeah, I noticed that too. In a team that seems chock-full of good characters, Ollie always comes across as really nice.

Agreed, the way this team behaves makes you proud.

TBH, the foundation and club have been good with that for several years. When Grealish was being congratulated for interacting with the girl at the CL final presentation, I suspected that was because he came from our club and not something the rest of the players were used to doing.

Yep, I agree, seem a really decent bunch of lads. Nice work, they made that lads day. What a brave kid he is.

Will someone shut that window, there seems to be grit getting in my eye.

Bless the little fella. I met him on Saturday and he and his family were lovely. For all his challenges he was cheeky and just loving life.

Yeah I think thats what I like about it - and it has been for a few years now.  Given some of the twats we have had - and TBF - most teams have - its a nice place to be as a club.

Also - we know Emi likes a drink on his world cup celebrations, and SJM on his regular trips to Ireland...

Loved as they coming out of the tunnel and the little fella was the loudest, what a fantastic brave little man. Found that funny, heartwarming and emotional all wrapped up into one. Ollie’s little soft hug, was such a nice gentle thing to do.

Wonderful stuff.

It's great to see local communities embracing the club. Based on my experience, 10 years ago that little rascal would probably have been a Man Utd fan.

Inspiring local kids is exactly what we should be about, and Ibrahim is a fucking champ. Here's to the many decades that lie ahead, brave little man.

Lovely to see. It clearly brought such joy to that brave little boy and his mum.
